Hello Aletenweg,
I agree with you 100%, life is what we make it. If we lkook for the positive in any situation, we are happy because we don't dwell on the negative.
Every day is a gift. There are so many people that don't get the gift of a long life. My parents lived each day to the fullest, and that's what I'm doing. When I die I want people to celebrate my life, not mourn my death.
Life is precious, in fact I have a cockateil bird named precious. Every time he says: :Hello mommy", he reminds me of what a great gift our life is. Birds brains are small in fact some the size of a peanut, yet they can learn to talk. Our brains are far superior and much larger, how much more we can do to make our life rewarding, happy, fullfilling. Like the bible says at:
Ecclesiastes 7:2 Better is it to go to the house of mourning than to go to the banquet house, because that is the end of all mankind; and the one alive should take [it] to his heart.
Wise king Solomon spoke the above words, why? Because when one is born they have not yet accomplished anything, yet when one dies, they have accomplished either good or bad in their life. That is why life is what we do with it. May we all use our life in an honorable way.
Peeace,
